There is about 400 files of difference. USUM is roughly 1.5 size of SM.

^Yep. The same event reappears.


It is the same as SuMo., but with the additions of UBs and the two dogs.

Exactly how the villain teams are supposed to work is unknown, because they have two rosters. But it is assumed one group will be exclusive to other.

I feel like the evil leaders will use the legendary that is exclusive to the opposite version of your own; however, I feel like Archie and Maxie will not be version exclusive.

Other than the first 2 pages and this one I haven't kept up with spoilers can anyone confirm if Zeraora is a mythical/ legendary /ultra beast or treated as a rare Pokemon in game but isn't like Lucario and volcarona

It is a Mythical.

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

Zeroare is a Mythical, ie. Event Legendary. It has 600 BST.

It is a one off species.

Sigh, SOS battles are back and seem to work the same as before. I knew those disappearing was wishful thinking on my part, but I still found them to be one of the most annoying features to be put in a Pokemon game.

Also, not sure if anyone said this yet, but it looks like you'll be able to surf on Mantime after you've beaten the first Kahuna.

That seems to be the case. Archie, Maxie and Gio are stuck with Kyogre, Groudon and Mewtwo but the others use a cover legend depending on the version.

Do we know any of the following yet?

-is Noibat locked behind S.O.S? Or will it show up on its own in the wild?
-are move tutors locked in post game, or can you access some during the main game?
-can you gain access to a place to evolve Crabrawler before the end of the game, or is it pretty much right before E4 again?

Actually, Giovanni has either Mega X or Mega Y, there's a team with either, so he'll probably depend on the version too.

Oh right

Tbh I forgot Mewtwo that even has two separate megas lmao

 

[Pokemon Power]

I assume there's still no Triple and Rotation Battles.

-is Noibat locked behind S.O.S? Or will it show up on its own in the wild?

If I'm reading the encounter table correctly, you can find Noibat normally at Verdant Cavern in addition to it being an SOS Pokemon.

-Data dump of Move Tutors have not been organized in terms of accessibility/location. But yes, they are obtainable in-game.

-Yep, it is the same as before.

Noibat doesn’t appear to be locked behind SOS, but Noivern does. I don’t know about Move Tutors, and Crabrawler is same as before, I believe.

Drat I was really hoping there would be like a random cave that takes you just high enough it counts or something.....

....being that late game Crabrawler really should have Volcarona like bst.

 

[King Shuckle]

Oh snap, you can Hawlucha early too. Crap, I don’t know if I want Hawlucha or Noibat. :O

How early?

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

^You can get it in Route 1.

Could always bank it down to Sun/Moon, level it up, then bank it back up to USUM...

Bank won’t be available for USUM until December. So you would have to trade, not bank.

Based on the Encounter Table (not sure if I’m reading it right though), it appears Rockruff is now available on Route 1 after getting Taurus PokéRide.
